Free Pattern Friday: I hear there’s a football game?

Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

I’ll be completely honest with you and let you know that I’ve never really been a sports fan. My youngest kid was a marching band guy and I went to a LOT of games, enough to learn that what I did while there was watch the musicians and the crowd!

That said, a lot of people I care about LOVE sports, so for those of you who fall into that category, I have a round-up of some of my football-inspired patterns from over the years!

Whoever you are rooting for, I hope it’s a good game!

The following patterns are designed by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, and are free for your personal use. Links go to Google Docs that you can save or print. ♥

Go Team, 10″ paper pieced

Go, Team! is 10″ paper pieced (10 1/2″ with seam allowance), and can be made in whatever team colors that best suit your purpose. My version was made in school colors for my eldest child. 🙂

Simple Football

5″ paper pieced

Football With Laces

Follow me on Instagram for lots of photos of cats & quilts!

Free Pattern Friday: Go, Team!

Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

I’ve made two trips to Dallas in the last two weeks to help get my youngest kiddo and his roommate all set up for their second year at university. They are already doing well at this adulting business, making it to classes, finding jobs, and feeding themselves, all while hopefully sleeping more than I did when I was in college!

With that in mind, I’m revisiting a pattern I designed for the College Days Blog Hop back in 2014, Go, Team!

Go, Team! is 10″ paper pieced (10 1/2″ with seam allowance), and can be made in whatever team colors that best suit your purpose. My version was made in school colors for my eldest child. 🙂

a 10″ pattern to paper piece

The College Days blog hop comes at a time when we’re just a few weeks away from my own daughter returning to her university for her second full year of college studies.

We live in Texas, and the fall in Texas means football. I’m a high school marching band mom and I won’t lie, I’m not much of a sports fan…I attend games for the music!

Anyway, while thinking about how to tackle this pattern, one thing kept coming back to me: the university bunting I myself hung on my wall while in college. All universities have a team of some variety, whether it be football, baseball, rugby or quidditch!
